Chapter 3

A week has past since i woke up and i now know what their names are. The boy is Inari, the mom is Tsunami, and the grampa is Tazuna. I told them my name was Kuro Shi and that I was traveling around to try to find a job and they told me what has happened recently. I was a bit disappointed at the fact that there is a war going on, but was still thinking of what Inari told me. He told me about his life before his friend Naruto came and what happened after it.

I had to admit, I was impressed by this Naruto character, but I'll judge him when if I ever meet him I thought as I tilted my glasses and continued to cook the dishes that were meant to be lunch. Despite the fact that I normally work if I'll get paid or if someone was going to kick my ass, but since they helped me and they were all very busy, I'll help out. I was wearing some baggy white clothes and socks, with my hair still tied in a short, low ponytail, with my glasses on my face. My stuff was dryed out by now and I was very lucky that none of my stuff were too damaged and is still usable except for my gray sweater. The only thing that was different about me was when I found out about my eyes 2 nights ago when I was going to the bathroom.

----2 nights ago----

'Crap. i need to go to the bathroom.' Kuro thought as he got up from the nice bed he was originally sleeping in to go to the bathroom. He yawned slightly as he rubbed his eyes and walked down the hallway. He decided to leave his glasses behind since it was night after all. When Kuro was done with his business, he saw Inari walking down the hallway facing the other direction so he called out to the younger child. Kuro didn't see him and everyone else all day because they were in a meeting and helping out. When he turned to face me, he screamed for a second.

"Wahh! What the?"

"Huh? What's wrong Inari?" I was confused, he seemed scared for a moment before relizing it was me.

"Kuro... your eyes..."

"What about my eyes?" I said as I walked to the bathroom mirror which I ignored before, but when I went to look at my reflection, it has my full attention, especially now because of my eyes.

"What the hell?!"

Well, the main rule back at where I used to live was to try not to attract attention, I failed at that back home and I guess I'm srewed here as well because I think that

Slit Pupils

along with

Yellow Irises

that make me resemble a CAT

is

not

NORMAL.

...I'm pretty sure that I didn't have them back where I used to live and they are SO NOT NORMAL here either... I wonder why no one noticed it till now.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Well, we found out that my eyes turn like that when it gets too dark so it adapts to see better. So I found out that i can freak people out by looking at them in the night and they might shoot/kill me.

Perfect.

Did I ever told you about the wonders of sarcasm? I think this is the time to tell you that. ... I think I'm cursing Kami out a lot these days. When I told Inari, he told me I have a pretty good reason to.

Damn straight I do.

So now I have to wear my glasses almost all the time when i'm awake. anyways, I'm still thinking about when i should leave. I've been here a bit too long and I would like to travel around so I think I should leave tomorrow, I was going to leave today, but Inari managed to convince me stay for one more day and I accidently made the move of looking into his eyes. They were so big and sparkling that something inside me made me stay, I sulked for the whole morning after that incident.

After I finished making something called rices cakes (I heard them said that they wanted to try it once so I when to look for a book of how to make some) and some fried noodles, Inari pulled me out of the house and showed me around. He showed me the houses, people, the shops, the great Naruto Bridge of where Gato died, and where he nearly drowned which I face-faulted.

When we were walking back to his house, Kuro noticed that there was a merchant that was selling weapons and the sort, particularly two medium sizes blades. One had a black blade that shadows seem to wrap itself around the blade when out of it's sheathe and it had the number XIII on it's hilt while the other has a golden glow to it while the blade is silver and the number XIV on it's hilt as well. Something seemed to draw him to them, but he couldn't figure out why, and there was something familar about them. When Kuro picked them up, they were kind of heavy, but if he thought that if he trained a bit on weights, he could hold it better, and he felt some sort of a connection as if he saw them somewhere else before. He thought of asking to buy the swords, but there was something else that caught his eye as well.

Unknown to Kuro and everybody else, the merchant that was selling things noticed what's going on and smirked. He already predicted that Kuro would take the swords since they do belong to him once before so it was a wise choice in pretending to be a merchant when he heard something that made him face-fault.

"Inari look! This rice is on discount! May I buy this?!" Kuro seemed very proud of himself.

The merchant seemed to struggle to regain his composure for minute before clearing his thoat and tried to think of another way to get Kuro to get the blade.

"Sir, would you like to keep these swords as well? I tried to sell these swords for a long time, but no one wanted to buy it so would you like it along with the rice?"

-----------------------------------------------------------

Kuro seemed to be in a very happy mood that part of the day as well as in deep thought. He didn't know why, but the swords seem so right in his arms. He practiced swinging them for a couple of hours so he could get a good idea on how should he swing it. Even though it was kind of heavy, he didn't even get winded(tired). He decided to put both on his belt, one on the left and the other on the right. He named the blade with the number XIII Kage since it was very dark and the other one with XIV Karui(light).

When he finished preparing for when he should leave, he put on his backpack and went to say his good byes to Inari and the others. When he told them he was going to leave, Tsunami and Tazuna told him to try to come back one day and gave a thick(2cm) jacket that reached a little bit lower than his knees, it was black though. he gave a mock glare and said

"Guys, just because my name means black does not mean that i have to be black." Tsunami and Tazuna snickered and Kuro pouted.

"Sorry, it just seems to fit you." said Tsunami. "Oh, Inari wanted me to tell you to go to his room to get something."

--------------------------------

When Kuro got to Inari's room, Inari thrusted an scroll into his hands and said

"Um, can you please give this to Naruto Uzumaki if you ever see him." he seemed kind of embaressed when he said that.

"Uh, sure. What does he look like?" i asked.

"Well, he has yellow spiky hair, blue eyes, loves ramen way too much for the average human, and the color orange enough to gourge someone's eyes out."

...This is the first time I heard about his description, but he seems a little weird.

"Uh, o.k... this isn't something I'll regret, right?"

"No, it least I hope so..." I stare at him for a few seconds before he coughed and said, "Oh yeah, he's also 13 years old as well."

After that, we both said our goodbyes to each other and I walked off as dawn began to rise.

to be continued...

AN: Okay, in this fic, I'm gonna make Naruto 13 instead of 15(i think) when he came back from his training with Jiraiya so he was around 11 maybe when Sasuke betrayed them? Oh well, this is a fanfic so it doesn't have to make complete sense so don't worry about it. By the end of this fic, their birthdays might come up at that point or before. Also, Naruto is stronger than he is in the manga/ anime. n.n
